The packets are delivered okay with correct checksums. This mainly affects UDP. I booted from disc2.iso for 4.7, 4.8, and 5.2.1RC and confirmed the problem there. One motherboard (GA-7VAXP-A Ultra) DOES work but all others tried so far, fail. Card in different slots, natch`. irq/timing? >How-To-Repeat: tcpdump -v | grep bad Then generate some UDP traffic >Fix: A workaround and proof of the source of the problem is to disable the hardware checksum. /usr/src/sys/dev/em/if_em.h #define EM_CHECKSUM_FEATURES (CSUM_TCP | CSUM_UDP) Set to zero >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
